Flame Retardant Fitted Sheets — BS 7175 Crib 7 Certified, 9 Colours
A fitted sheet that stays compliant through a commercial laundry regime is harder to find than it should be. Many FR products are surface-treated — the flame retardant is applied as a finish, and it fades. These flame retardant fitted sheets are different. The FR property is inherent to the 100% polyester fibre itself, independently accredited to BS 7175 Source (Crib) 7, and it stays that way for the life of the sheet.
Crib 7 is the standard that matters in institutional procurement — the rating specified by most NHS trusts, local authorities, and registered care providers, and the one an inspector will ask for by name. Available in single and double, in packs from one to ten, with no minimum order. Trade and wholesale enquiries welcome — call 01204 896528 or browse pack options above.
Key Benefits
The fitted design handles the practical side of institutional bedding — stays in place through the night, fits standard single and double mattresses, and goes through a commercial wash cycle without losing shape or compliance. The inherent FR construction means no re-treatment, no surface degradation, and no compliance risk after repeated laundering. These colours cover the full range of settings, from clinical white through to darker shades suitable for care home bedrooms — every colour independently tested to the same Crib 7 standard. Anti-allergenic, machine washable, and tumble-dry safe on medium to cool heat.

Use Cases
Care homes and hospitals are the core buyer — environments where fitted sheets are changed regularly, laundered commercially, and need to hold their fire safety certification through that process. HMO landlords and supported housing providers use these where FR bedding is a licence or compliance requirement. For hotels specifying Crib 7 bedding at contract level, the colour range means you're not limited to white. Retail buyers — including families equipping a room for a vulnerable relative — can order a single sheet without paying a bulk premium. Manufactured direct in Bolton, no middleman, no inflated margin.

FAQs
What is BS 7175 Crib 7 and why does it matter for fitted sheets?
BS 7175 is the UK standard for testing ignitability of bedding. Crib 7 is the more demanding of the two main test levels and is the rating specified in most institutional procurement frameworks — NHS, local authority, and registered care. These fitted sheets are independently accredited to that standard.
Does the FR treatment degrade after repeated washing?
No. The flame retardant property is inherent to the polyester fibre — not a surface application. Commercial laundering won't affect the certification or the performance.
How do these differ from the flame retardant flat sheets?
Same FR certification, same colour range, same material — the difference is purely the sheet type. Fitted sheets have elasticated corners for a secure fit on the mattress. Flat sheets sit over the mattress or under the duvet. Many settings use both — see our flame retardant flat sheets if you need both types.
Do all colours carry Crib 7 certification?
Yes — every colour has been independently tested to BS 7175 Crib 7. No exceptions across the range.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum. One sheet or ten — same price per unit. We supply retail and wholesale direct from our Bolton warehouse.
